I got a staph infection during a recent cataract
surgery and am fighting to save the vision in my left
eye. If any of you have had a similar esperience,
please contact me on my personal e=mail. I really need
to talk to someone who has been through this. Thanks,
Juliet Johnston

Greetings Juliet,

Much research has been done in Australia re "Staph" our Hospitals are having
problems due to the various things becoming immune to treatment.
One thing they have found is that 50-50 blend of Eucalyptus oil and Tea Tree
oil will attack Staph, BUT I don't know how it would affect the area around
Cataract Surgery , it is very strong. It would be best to consult an
Opthalmist prior to using it.

I have had no experience in this area "Thank God".

I am a Diabetic and have a very good Opthalmist so if you want I will try to
get an opinion from him.

Or perhaps I could get his e.mail address and you could contact him direct.
I understand how you must feel , things never happen fast enough when one
needs advice.

I was once {Long Long ago} an Executive at the South Australian Royal
Society for Visually Impaired and from that I fully understand how important
good sight can be.

Please keep in touch , I will do as much as I can to help.

Kind regards,
Brian and Rena Crocker.
